Loved Norway. Slept on a glacier. Driving the coast is amazing. I remember driving up to a fjord lookout point from the east side as we drove to the west coast and climbing up a steep gravel road in the car in the fog. We stood at the lookout point and suddenly the sun broke through and the warmth drilled a holed down around 1,000 feet below us as the fog opened up. There in the center of the fog bank was a sizable cruise ship almost immediately below where we were standing. We were looking at this tiny ship’s decks from above. Back in the late 70’s and 80’s, before they modernized some of the tunnels, there were some incredible hand dug tunnels, blasted ledges created down shear rock walls for roads, and switchback roads leading up and down. Driving was an adventure. Things are little more modern today. Norway’s vast oil revenue has made the infrastructure much more grand. Norwegians love to dig tunnels and build viaducts to skirt and cross the fjords.

Not exactly shorts and flip-flop weather, is it? Great drone shot, Steve.

commenting on the "Newsom for Gov" meme - why hasn't some woke Mexican scholar written a Mexican-Zionest manifesto by now?

You wrote caption "team up LA needs ... " (meaning??) & below it are 2 pix. Caption & pix all totally unclear. One of the pix shows a bulldozer/tank sitting on a street. Is your intent that LA needs tanks & Koreans with guns.? Are the pix from the Saint Rodney Riot of 90- something? Signed... frustrated

Went to Iceland early last September. It is as majestic as it is mercurial. Will go back, and will graft Norway onto that trip.

"Anyone up for some Norway from the air?" Well, I was "down" on Honningsvag myself in 5/2024 on my visit to Norway. I visited because Norway was the home of my 19th century paternal grandpa.
